 are either organized or unorganized : f the first di- 

 vision includes animals and -vegetables, the latter

t Corpora organica. Haec internorum vasorum congerie prae- 

 dita sunt, qua e nutrimentis adsuinptis moleculae extrahuntur, 

 praeparantur, vehuntur et distribuuntur, incremento, sustentatioiii 

 et propagation! inservientes. Corpora anorganica. Anorganica 

 audiunt, quae omni structura orgauica destituuntur, appositione 

 particularum externa vi attractionis unice concrescentia. Berg. 

 Med. de Syst. Foss. Nat. . II. et IV. Extraneous fossils do not 

 properly accord with Bergman's definition of corpora anorganica t 

 though he himself considers them as such. Those bodies, however, 

 though possessing an organic form, may, with propriety, be de- 

 fined as unorganized, since that form is no longer instrumental to 

 growth, motion, or the propagation of the species.
